CDONTS.NewMail - not working...!

[Steve]

Hi all,

I'm using IIS 5 on a win xp machine for all my testing,
before I upload to our live server. I've installed the
SMTP service and it's running with no errors.

Dose anyone know anything about the above set-up not
supporting "CDONTS.NewMail" for sending email using
ASP..?

I get the following error message: "Server object, ASP
0177 (0x800401F3) Invalid class string".

Any help would be great..

Thanks

Steve

CDONTS has been deprecated, and no longer ships in XP or Windows Server
2003. Please search aspfaq.com for "cdo.message" without the quotes for
some code samples using that object instead.

If you must use CDONTS, you can copy the file cdonts.dll and manually
register it on your xp box. However, CDO.Message is the correct way to go.

Thanks Israel/Aaron for your answers... Do you know if
CDO.Message will work with IIS4 and/or win2k...?

Yes, it will work with Windows 2000. I don't believe NT 4.0 had it.

You could build a conditional sub, I suppose, based on
request.serverVariables("SERVER_SOFTWARE"). Or, you could use one of many
other ways to send mail... search for "send_e" without the quotes at
www.aspfaq.com ...
